Chapter 16: Coming to the Fore
"I see."
Shen Zhao'er's voice was a small aggrieved look, and she almost made Shen Wan'er laugh.
"I still have something to do, so let's go out first."
It was another sunny day, Shen Wan'er and Liu Chunhua went to the mountain to pick some medicinal herbs, in addition to the more ordinary ones, they also dug up some more valuable gastrodia.
"These can be sold in the town's pharmacy for a lot of money!"
Shen Wan'er had a smile on her face, although she often came up to the mountain during this time, there were not many valuable medicinal materials, and she was really lucky today.
"That's the same, you said you had to come here to see us, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to dig these days." Liu Chunhua heard about the value of gastrodia, and she was also very happy.
Her family is also very poor, Liu Chunhua's father and sister-in-law are all able to work in the fields, but her brother and sister-in-law have three children, and the things grown in the field are only enough for them to eat.
Even so, when Shen Wan'er was starving, Liu Chunhua would still save some of the food in her mouth for her.
's own family is better, so he will naturally pull Liu Chunhua a hand.
For more than a month, Liu Chunhua and Shen Wan'er have been collecting medicinal materials in the mountains and selling them at the pharmacy in the town, and they have earned several taels of silver scattered and scattered, and they have also relied on this money to eat meat several times.
And today I dug up the relatively valuable gastrodia, calculating the money that could be shared, Liu Chunhua smiled more and more brightly.
Shen Wan'er got more money from the sale, it was Liu Chunhua who took the initiative to put it forward, she followed Shen Wan'er to dig medicinal materials together, and it was already a big advantage, if it was the same as Shen Wan'er said, five or five points, then she wouldn't be able to pass her own level.
"The sun is getting bigger, let's take a look over there."
The two took out the straw hats from the basket and put them on, and walked down another road.
I came down from the mountain and didn't go home, I went straight to the town.
The sun is hot, and the sweat can't stop flowing, although wearing cool cotton and linen clothes, but walking under the sun, and carrying a basket of herbs, it is impossible not to sweat.
"The silk flower you gave to Xiaoni, this girl's baby is like something, and she is reluctant to wear it at home, only when she goes out for a short while, she will take it out and take it, and then carefully put it in her box."
The silk flowers made by Shen Wan'er are very beautiful, and they are styles that have never been seen, and many people will envy them when they take them out, but except for those families who have a good relationship with Shen Wan'er, she has given silk flowers, and everything else has to be bought with money.
Most of the people in Peony Village are poor, and they basically don't pay money to buy them, but Lin Yue'er is rich, but she has a bad relationship with Shen Wan'er, and she won't pull down her face and take the initiative to buy things from Shen Wan'er.
"If she likes it, I'll go to the city in a while to see if there are any good rags, and then bring them back and make some silk flowers for her."
Liu Chunhua hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, no need, just a silk flower is embarrassing enough for our family, my sister-in-law also likes it very much, and what I just said is not that meaning." ”
"I've been friends with you for so many years, how could I not know what you mean, anyway, I'm planning to go to the city after a while, and it's just by the way, and it's not worth much."
"We've already received it once, and we won't ask for it again."
Shen Wan'er smiled, she didn't say yes or bad, Liu Chunhua couldn't tell what she meant, she hesitated to ask again, but Shen Wan'er diverted the topic to other things, and Liu Chunhua followed Shen Wan'er's topic.
"Your luck is very good today, this day hemp is not cheap."
These days, the owner of the pharmacy has already known them, and when he saw the sweat on their heads, he poured them a cup of tea, "The sun is so strong outside, let's rest here first and then go back." ”
"Since the boss said so, then we're welcome."
The cold tea suddenly felt much refreshed, and the boss calculated the money and quietly gave it to Shen Wan'er.
There is a lot of money this time, and Shen Wan'er and Liu Chunhua are two girls' families, in case they are targeted by someone, it will not be good.
Shen Wan'er also knew how powerful it was, and smiled gratefully at the boss, "Thank you, boss." ”
"Thank you, I also look at your two young girls' homes, going to the mountains to dig herbs on a hot day is really hard, so it is just a little bit to be able to take care of a little, you rest more, rest enough, and then leave."
Shen Wan'er responded, looking at the people in the pharmacy who were grabbing medicine or seeing a doctor, and her heart was surging.
“…… This is the third time I've come, and no matter how much medicine you have taken for my mother-in-law, it's useless, and if she continues like this, she will probably die! ”
The one who spoke was an uncle in his forties, who seemed to be a little emotional, and as he spoke, his voice became more and more sharp, and his eyes widened, looking at Lang Zhong in front of him.
And the woman next to this uncle looks about the same age as her, but her face is miserable and unlikely, covering her waist, her lips are purple, and she looks very sick.
Lang Zhong's face was full of helplessness, "Otherwise, you should go to the city to have a look, the doctors there have better medical skills than me." ”
The middle-aged woman looked weak, as if she might faint at any time.
"If you can't cure it, don't treat it, why did you prescribe medicine to my mother-in-law at the beginning, the medicine has been taken for so many days, but the situation is getting worse and worse, if my mother-in-law has a good one, I will never forget it with you!"
The man slapped the table, startling Liu Chunhua beside him.
The middle-aged woman didn't know if she was frightened, so she fell straight back, but fortunately, Shen Wan'er had been paying attention to things here.
When the woman fell, she just stood behind the woman and took it directly, so as to avoid letting the middle-aged woman fall to the ground in a daze.
"Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't scare me! The man looked very anxious.
Lang Zhong was also taken aback, and hurriedly came up to check his pulse, his face was very serious.
"Her symptoms are so weird." Lang Zhong frowned tightly, "It's clear that when I came here a few days ago, it was just a simple abdominal pain, just grab some medicine, it shouldn't be." ”
"What should not be, I tell you, if my mother-in-law dies, you don't want to live!"
"Otherwise, let me try." Lang Zhong followed the voice and looked over, only to see Shen Wan'er standing beside the woman, her face covered with a veil, and only a pair of bright and divine eyes were revealed.
Just listening to the voice and looking at the eyes, I knew that this girl was definitely not very old, and the little hope that burned in Lang's center quickly disappeared.
There was also a slight condemnation in the words, "I'm not here for you to play around, what if someone really dies?" ”
Just taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Wan'er had already taken the pulse of the woman who had passed out in a coma, and she was fully confident that she could be cured, and her speech was also sonorous and powerful at this time, "I'm not joking, I can treat her disease, and it will be effective on the spot, and it will be cured in two days at most." ”
They were already sick like this, and they could be cured in two days, and the man's eyes lit up with hope, and there was also doubt because he was too young, "You mean it really? ”
"Of course it's true, but I don't have a silver needle here, so I wonder if you can lend me one."
Seeing Shen Wan'er so determined, the man gritted his teeth, looked at the woman in his arms who was pale and unconscious, and did not react at all, and made a decision in his heart.
Lang Zhong can't cure it, and now he doesn't know what will happen on the way to the city, so it's better to simply die as a horse doctor and let this veiled young girl give it a try, maybe he has such a skill.
Lang Zhong still didn't want to, frowning, "What kind of fun is a little girl's family coming here to make a fuss, don't say that you don't have a master to teach, even if someone teaches, at your age, it's still very early to leave the teacher, don't come here to make trouble!" ”
"I've got a set of silver needles here." The boss who had just gone to the backyard didn't know where to come out, holding a silver needle bag in his hand, Shen Wan'er took it and took a look, and knew that this set of silver needles was definitely not cheap.
"You ......" Lang Zhong wanted to say something.
"Girl, can you really save my mother-in-law?"
"Don't worry." Shen Wan'er hooked, picked up a silver needle, and inserted it into the skin of the unconscious middle-aged woman.
Soon, the unconscious woman snorted softly and reacted.
The man was overjoyed, "Baby, baby, are you awake?" ”
Shen Wan'er pulled out the silver needle, and the woman who had just been conscious slowly woke up, her complexion seemed to have become a little better, and her lips were white, not as purple as she had just been.
"I'm really awake, that's great!" The man almost cried with joy, hugging the woman with an expression that was more ugly than crying.
"What's wrong with me?" The woman's face was dazed.
"You fainted just now, but it scared me to death, but fortunately this girl is here, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"Thank you, girl."
"Are you feeling better now?"
The woman blinked and felt her body carefully, "...... I don't seem to be in that much pain anymore. ”
But soon, her expression became strange, "Is there a latrine here?" ”
"Yes, yes, in the backyard, I'll take you."
Not long after the woman went to the backyard, there was a faint crackling sound, and gradually, there was a strange smell in the house, which showed how powerful it was.
After nearly a stick of incense, the man helped the woman back, and although the woman had a prostrated expression, her complexion was visibly better, and her lips were a little bloody.
"My stomach doesn't hurt much now, it's a little bit more." She looked at Shen Wan'er gratefully, "Girl, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened." ”
